If you love tatted lace, jewellery, plants and anything handcrafted, come back often. I will regularly post items that are made by me, plants that I grow and interesting things that I photograph.

Edged Hanky 2012 - 3
This is finally done. I think this is the first time I used a Size 60 for an edging. The lace is very dainty and quite difficult to block. I was not too conscientious about it so the lace isn't well shaped. Also I made my own adjustments for the corners and realized that the chains should be a little longer.
This pattern is Edging #2 from Janet Caroll's book Elegant Tatting Patterns. It is tatted in two rounds and I completed the tatting before attaching it to the hanky. That was not fun to do.
